Shakhtar vs Porto Prediction: Exchange of goals is more than likely

Prediction for the Championship League Shakhtar vs Porto match which will take place on September 19th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the Ukrainian league, Shakhtar Donetsk has played seven rounds and achieved five wins and two draws. Shakhtar leads the championship with 17 points, three more than their nearest competitors, Kryvbas, with a goal difference of 15-7. Shakhtar joined the match against Porto on a 3-game winning streak. The statistics are good, but will the hosts be able to maintain their current form against a strong opponent and take points from the Portuguese giants?

Porto's season began with a 2:0 loss to Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup. Porto played five matches in the national championship, drawing 1:1 with Arouca and beating Moreirense, Farense, Rio Ave, and Estrela. After five rounds, Porto have 13 points and are in second place. The Portuguese reached the Champions League playoffs, where they lost to Inter Milan, the future finalist of the draw.

Porto is an experienced and motivated team, while Shakhtar are not what they were a few years ago. Shakhtar is used to playing away from home, but it is unlikely that they will be as comfortable in Hamburg as the Portuguese. Porto has a good chance of taking three points from Germany. At the same time, we expect the Ukrainians to score. The fact is that Porto regularly concedes goals, even at the level of the Portuguese championship, so an exchange of goals is more than likely.
